As always, NOT financial advice, but here are a few quick notes + visual breakdowns of what some of you guys have been asking about re: Bitcoin. And keep in mind that I only claim to know that I don't know almost everything about everything, which is the crucial advantage.

That said, the MAIN TAKEAWAY from all of this, especially after days like yesterday = don't panic. It's easy to get caught up in technical stuff (take it from one who knows), but try to focus on fundamentals when shit's hitting the fan -- i.e. less TradingView, more white papers. Just trust the technology, it's gonna be fine.

And seriously -- read the Satoshi paper! Then read the Ethereum paper! Not only bc the latter explains the former so well for us normal humans, but bc it's a legitimately enjoyable piece of writing, imho.

main difference between now & then is the HUGE spike in volume yesterday (orange arrow) -- biggest single-day dump in the history of BTC, I believe, but mostly due to one individual in Japan selling $400,000,000+ worth, so shouldn't be anything macro to worry about;

the fact that BTC absorbed the singular blow & the price maintained as well as it did despite this anomaly in volume = good sign (shows significant consolidation since earlier this year when you correlate price to volume between the two sets of boxes);

BUT if price continues to drop below $8,250-ish range (like it did in late Jan / early Feb after coming out of that orange box) = not a good sign (could mean more worry about regulations, exchanges, etc.?);

current price as I'm writing is around $9,750, but sorry to say it'll probably go lower through the rest of the week . . . (again, compare & contrast patterns between the sets of orange boxes).

Altcoins won't make significant moves until Bitcoin stops going sideways (again, probably early April?), but then you can ride those up & down through the Altsummer as you see fit.

[Edit: Yeah, feel free to share this privately, but please don't post anywhere out in the open or send to someone who might do that. Will do my best to update whenever I can (rather than try to keep up with individual texts / emails) so please go easy on me in the meantime.]
